2026 Belize Bluegrass at El Pescador Lodge

February 09, 26

We’re pleased to announce dates for our 2026 “Belize Bluegrass” event at El Pescador Lodge on Ambergris Caye - a one-of-a-kind “fishing/beach/live bluegrass” vacation and trip package! This five-night, four-day all-inclusive package at El Pescador Lodge is ideal for couples, fishing friends, and anyone who appreciates incredible bluegrass music in a gorgeous topical locale.

WHERE: El Pescador Lodge, Ambergris Caye, Belize

WHEN: November 17-22, 2026 (5 nights / 4 days)

WHO: An ideal couple’s trip, with space limited to a total of 60 people (30 couples) plus the musicians. This bluegrass gathering will have exclusive use of the entire El Pescador property.

2026 RATES:

Option #1: Classic Lodge Room
Each of the fourteen main lodge guest rooms lookout to the sea and are just steps away from the lodge swimming pool, bar, and main beach. All rooms feature private bathrooms, overhead fans, two queen beds, and air conditioning.
Rate: $6,495 per couple

Option #2: Private Villa Room
These are ideal for three couples wanting to stay together in what is essentially a private house.

Again – villas are perfect for groups of three couples that are interested in being in the same complex.

Fly Fishing Rates: $725 per day / per boat (total for one or two anglers)

Bluegrass Performances

THE MUSIC: For 2026, we’ve once again lined up six incredible musicians – bluegrass legends, Grammy winners, and industry icons – who will collectively headline the gathering. Each evening will feature an exclusive and intimate live musical offering and concert, and the private setting at El Pescador Lodge very much gives attendees the feeling of being “backstage” at a show.

Woody Platt is a Grammy Award-winning bluegrass singer, songwriter, guitarist, and a founding member of Steep Canyon Rangers. 

Shannon Whitworth is a former member of The Biscuit Burners with three solo albums to her name.

Buddy Melton is an award-winning fiddle player and vocalist, and a founding member of Balsam Range. 

Daren Shumaker is a next-level mandolin player who has played and worked with Chris Stapleton, Del McCoury, Sam Bush, and numerous others.

Bennett Sullivan is an incredible banjo player who has played and toured with the likes of Balsam Range, Willie Nelson, and Steve Martin.

PLUS … additional guest musicians will be joining the line-up – More names T.B.A.!
